BoldSign vs. Nitro Productivity Suite

BoldSign makes completing legal documents easy. It is also safe and secure. My company is in commercial real estate development and we use BoldSign for all of our purchase agreements and lease transactions. It’s ease of use to setup and for end users makes it a worthwhile product for us

Being a Nonprofit organization that produces a lot of publications on various projects, NPS allows us to create, edit and convert documents to suit the needs of our International Donor Partners and other stakeholders. In my own experience using this software, it is used less in our finance department since most of our documents originate from our accounting system and hence there is limited need for PDF management internally.

• Uploading documents
• Adding signers
• Routing documents for all to sign
• Sending documents to all signers and others copied once completed
• Reminder messages
• Legal document to accompany signatures

• Ability to combine files SEAMLESSLY and order them around as necessary (so underrated)
• Signing not only for yourself but for others. Helpful for those who have been granted the authority to sign for VPs and directors
• Much easier to use than some other PDF viewing services

• It would be great if BoldSign saved my signature in my account to use each time
• It might be easier if you could select signature (or any heading for that matter) and click where you want it instead of dragging it to where you want it.
• It would be nice if completed document’s automatically saved to a selected folder for safe keeping.

• The font choices could be better and more robust.
• Sometimes converting PDF documents to MS Word has formatting problems, like with some tables.
• Converting MS Word to PDF can be slow sometimes, meaning it is faster to save the MS Word document as a PDF than selecting the file for conversion using the Nitro PDF convert option.

It took just a few hours to integrate so I'd call that a win.

It's quick and easy to use for all users.

It works as advertised.

Nitro checks all the boxes for what we need. It is fairly priced, it allows us to read and edit PDF documents, convert PDF to MS Word and convert MS Word to PDF. It allows us to combine multiple files and do all the post processing like adding page numbers and adding headers and footers

These competitors provide mediocre and feature-bloated offerings that are simply a pain to use. For example, building templates in the aforementioned tools is like pulling teeth. The editor is finicky. BoldSign, by contrast is simple and generally intuitive, thereby making it easier to use.

Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free version) installed to view a small percentage of some PDFs we receive.

• So far I have only used the free version
• I am sure that the paid version would be extremely beneficial if you did a bunch of contracts. I just started using the program, so not too many contracts yet. If I need to upgrade my subscription, the price will be well worth it.

• ROI was very quick as the license costs were so low. We purchased 8 licenses versus the initial 2 we were planning on for Adobe.
• More people were able to use the product than we initially thought due to low purchase costs.
• We haven't had any further costs to own the product after the initial purchase. We would need to purchase new licenses if we wanted to upgrade.
